Friends, that you for your patience as we navigate the new normal.

Out of an abundance of caution, we delayed our re-opening due to 2 employees testing positive for Covid 19 and 1 employee who had close contact with a positive individual.  These employees are all isolating and quarantining.  San Damiano will follow CDC and county guidelines in determining when these employees can return.

In the meantime, the lobby is receiving a deep cleaning and we look forward to greeting you on August 11.  The Feast of St. Clare mass is ON.  It will be outdoors at the Stations of the Cross.  Bring a chair, your masks, and hand sanitizer, and see you soon.

The gift shop will be open by appointment.  Please call to schedule at 925-837-9141.

Peace.

Gift Shop

Our gift shop is under new management and has been redesigned to meet the current governmental safety protocols.

Please make an appointment to shop by e-mailing Giftshop@sandamiano.org or calling 925-837-9141 ext. 311 to request an appointment for a private shopping experience with a personal shopping associate. Available Monday – Saturday. Please bring a mask.

We are also working on putting some of our gift shop items on-line for purchase.  Stay tuned.

Private Retreats

We are open for day and overnight guests who wish to make a private retreat.  Perhaps you or someone you know is looking for a place to work quietly or a get-away. Our rooms are equipped with WiFi.

Due to safety concerns, such as the pandemic, we have taken the difficult step of limiting our grounds, buildings, and trails in order to protect our elderly Friars residents, staff, and registered guests only.  We invite you to explore other hiking opportunities in the area. As a convenience, we have reserved spots in the lower parking lot for Las Trampas access using the green cow gate.
